There seems to be so little pattern in this map. Except for the far north, where there was little settlement, it seems as if large percentages can live anywhere. I suppose mountains are also a factor.

Hey all you genociders out there, this has got to be studied. A little slow, like 1492 to circa 1972, but what an effective job and over such a huge expanse. Impressive. /s

It’s so sad as a Brazilian that Brazil has such a big population and yet is one of or the country with the lowest percentage of indigenous people in the Americas. I wish we had an indigenous language as our national language, the same as Paraguay.

Population density or isolation.
Edit: I mean I’m seeing two different reasons, with some places having high percentages of indigenous people because there were so many people there before the European conquests (Mesosmerica, the Andes), and others being places that were isolated (northern North America, southern South America, etc.)

The Santanderes? I don’t even think they’re the whitest part of Colombia.

I would be more interested to see a map of people with Indigenous ancestry than this one. I’m assuming this is basically a map representing recognized tribes and land holdings.

Honestly did not expect Guatemala to be so heavily indigenous compared to the rest of Central America. Is there a reason for it?
